view

The City of Hollywood's Education Advisory Committee was created to help promote and support quality educational opportunities in the city and seeks to make sure the opportunities in Hollywood are among the best available in the State of Florida. Meetings are held on the third Monday each month, except for August and December, when the committee is in recess.

Clay Milan, Community Development Manager, Department of Development Services is the Staff Liaison, 954. 921.3271. There are two positions vacant.

The Education Advisory Committee is constantly striving to improve and encourages you to provide comments, questions, or suggestions at: educationcommittee@hollywoodfl.org.

The Committee urges you to get involved with your local school. With a lack of adequate funding and growing needs, your assistance is crucial. Whether it's through time volunteered in the classroom, or providing financial support, our schools need you.

Afterschool Supper Program

Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) has expanded its Afterschool Supper Program to include four additional school sites, for a total of 110 schools serving nutritious meals to students. The supper meals ensure that more than 14,000 students participating in regularly scheduled afterschool educational or enrichment activity programs receive the nutrition they need to learn and grow. The suppers are funded through the Child Care Food Program, a federally funded program, which provides healthy meals in the child care setting. Meals meet all USDA requirements and include a milk, fruit, vegetable, grain and meat (or meat alternate), and are offered in the school’s cafeteria. The healthy meals are available to children participating in afterschool programs at no separate charge regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. For more information on the Afterschool Supper Program, please call Melissa Moore, BCPS Food and Nutrition Services at 754.321.0215.

Excellence in Education Teacher Grant Fund

The Excellence in Education Teacher Grant Fund is to reward Hollywood teachers and school-based administrators by funding their original and innovative projects.
